...made public by the government) shows McVeigh calling Elohim City two weeks before the bombing. Although he offers no hard evidence, Wilburn contends that McVeigh had visited the camp between June 1993 and the bombing and was close to several residents, including Andreas Strassmeir, a German with alleged neo-Nazi links. Wilburn also claims that McVeigh knew an associate of Strassmeir's, Michael Brescia, who last week was indicted for a series of bank robberies. McVeigh's lawyer denies they had a relationship. Strassmeir, who has returned to Berlin, says he knew McVeigh only in passing...

Carol Cohen's "Greek Revival," plates of glass etched with a body and set in a mauve and teal neo-classical base, pales in contrast with Nancy Spero's deft exploration of female power and representation in the ancient era. More disappointing, however, is the glaring exclusion of some of the most talented Boston-trained photographers such as Jack Pierson, David Armstrong, Mark Morrisroe and Nan Goldin (the subject...
